About peatlands
Whatever the season, a warm welcome awaits you at Peatlands!
Peatlands is an idyllic nature haven located outside Ballybogey in County Antrim, just 45 mins from Belfast International Airport. Portrush, Dunluce Castle, and Bushmills are all within 10 mins drive, and the Giant’s Causeway, Dark Hedges, and Portstewart are within 15 mins drive.
Our two beautiful shepherd’s huts - Curlew and Sundew - are set within their own ample space and natural landscape in three acres of grounds, with private boardwalk and deck. Designed, built and finished to the highest standards of craftmanship, these iconic structures are full of character, charm and comfort. With their cosy wood-burning stoves, they offer a secluded getaway all year round, whether to rest and unwind or to work-from-hut.
Named for the surrounding peatlands that are a unique and important part of our environment and cultural heritage - including the Garry Bog National Nature Reserve right on our doorstep - Peatlands is ideal for solo travellers, couples, and nature lovers of all ages.
Peatlands also has an award-winning on-site bakery, serving artisan sourdough bread and other freshly prepared bakes. Our signature sourdough, the Peatlands Loaf, was awarded Gold at the Tiptree World Bread Awards. Guests can enjoy our delicious bakery produce with their breakfast.
Each shepherd’s hut has its own private shower room, with luxury towels and toiletries.
The comfy king-size bed is furnished with luxury cotton linens and there is wardrobe and underbed storage for belongings.
Kitchens are fully equipped with fridge, microwave, oven and double hob as well as kettle, coffee-maker and toaster.
In addition to the stove, there is an electric heater and towel rail.
Guests can also relax and cook around the private outdoor fire pit.
Huts have high-speed Wi-Fi and free parking is available on site.
Max. capacity per hut is 2 persons. Sorry, we are unable to accommodate pets in the huts.
